Dysuria
Dysuria means painful urination, which gives that burning sensation. Although it’s more common in women, it could happen even to men. It’s not about the frequency of urinating but the pain you feel when peeing, but you may experience both. There are different causes of this condition, and urinary tract infection, or UTI, is the most common. Bacteria that make their way into the body could cause UTI. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. Follow the recommended dosage and frequency. Even if you feel better before completing the medication, continue taking the medicines until you finish them. Failure to do this could lead to antibiotic resistance, making your body unresponsive to certain medications.
Kidney stones and hyperuricemia may also cause dysuria. But, again, your doctor could determine the actual cause of the problem, which is where the treatment will depend. So, if it’s caused by hyperuricemia or kidney stones, your doctor will treat these underlying causes to relieve back pain. Other things that may cause dysuria are cancer and prostate disease. Drinking plenty of water and regularly changing with clean underwear or an incontinence pad, if you use one, can help prevent dysuria.
